Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight (a fortnight = two weeks) is hosted by Scotland Food and Drink and promoted by the Scottish Government. This nationwide event features locally grown Scottish products and those who grow, make, cook, and sell them.
Here are five dishes that are native to Scotland:
Haggis is a savory pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and boiled before being uncased and served.
Scotch Pie is a double-crusted hot water pastry pie filled with mutton or other meat that is particularly popular at football matches.
Cullen Skink, named after the town of Cullen in Moray, on the northeast coast of Scotland, is a thick and creamy soup made of smoked haddock, potatoes, and onions.
Cranachan is a layered dessert made with whipped cream, whisky, honey, fresh raspberries, and toasted oatmeal.
Stovies is a potato dish with onions and meat, usually roast or corned beef. It is a favorite use for leftovers.
Traditional Scottish cuisine centers around locally available ingredients and is hearty and filling.
